It's true. :) Susan H. Hi all Browsing Mike Gunderloy's newsletter I noticed this which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else and makes a big difference between the earlier MSDE and the new SQL Server 2005 Express: --- One of the nicest things about SQL Server Express is what's been left out: the query governor from MSDE, which added arbitrary slowdowns when you had more than five active connections, is gone. This makes SQL Server Express a much more useful tool. In particular, many database-backed Web sites should be able to get by with this version of SQL Server and not pay a dime in licensing fees. The maximum size of databases is also doubled from MSDE, to 4GB. Maximum memory, however, is halved to 1 GB. Still, the majority of small and medium sites won't have a problem with this.
